If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.

Footballers spend 90 minutes pretending they're injured,
Rugby players spend 80 minutes pretending they aren't.

I think it has way too many penalties, but half aren't penalties. Refs have ruined a lot of games for me.

Generally good, but he spent a bit too much time talking about lobby (Leigh) and games decided on penalties (rugby union)

Here's the link so people who missed it can here it again
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00rtbk8

I found Mark Steel's comedic ramblings on Wigan quite amusing.

You might care to spend 25 minutes of your time listening.

One small comment. I suspect his critique of 'rugby' refers to his experience of watching union. I'm sure if someone brought him along to a good Saints - Wigan game he'd change his mind.

Anyway, enjoy.

I thought it was a really funny show and good natured. Brought back some memories of living in Standish / days in Wigan over a couple of years in the 80's. And I'm still doing my bit to keep Uncle Joe's in business! :wink:

It was great. The union penalty stuff annoyed me but even if he didn't get the technical differences of the game he understood the social differences of the community to the yawnion n00bs.

He's a comedian/columnist/author/socialist.

Unfortunately, he's also a southerner.
